Live pokerNo poker room on the list
Starlight Casino Edmonton's table-games page lists no player-versus-player poker room. So The Rail lists none here, with no poker hours and no table count.
Two poker-style games do appear on its live tables: a Texas Hold'em variant and 3 Card Poker Temptation. Both are played against the house. Games like these are house-banked, played against the casino, so they are not a poker room where players play each other. Starlight's live tables run daily from 11 AM to 3 AM.
For a dealt game between players, the nearest poker room in a straight line is at River Cree Resort & Casino, 5.2 km away.

Slots at Starlight Casino Edmonton are open 24/7. Live table games run daily from 11 AM to 3 AM, Mountain time, so the tables close while the slot floor stays open. Holiday hours are not covered here and should be checked on the casino's own site.
The casino sits on the second level of West Edmonton Mall. It was the Palace Casino until Gateway opened it under the Starlight name in late September 2018, after a $57 million renovation. This page has no facts on a hotel or a smoking area there.
